Thanks.Helped me fix a friend's old BMW, a car he bought new, kept all these years, and has a connection with.

A temporary solution to wipers not working is to apply Rain-X to your windshield. This is a water repellent which will cause rainwater to bead and run off from wind. This works extremely well at speeds over about 45 MPH (about 70 km/h). When you’re traveling at typical in-town speeds, there is not enough wind to blow the water off your windshield, but the water will still bead, so it’s still somewhat effective. I recommend using Rain-X even with the wipers working, just running them as necessary…you will see much better.

I have the same issue. This is a fantastic video very methodical and informative. Thank you!

Thanks from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@jimmymanelius3604]

Thank you very much for helping me troubleshoot my fault on my e39 wipers. 🙂

[@elitaerou3828]

Hi, I got the same issue and behaviour of the front wipers and in addition the rear one too on my e39'03 tourer and I've replaced the relay with newer production year, but no changes to the wipers behaviour. Still seeking for the trouble. Assume the switch/lever is faulty. Good video by the way! BMW is always fun!

[@Aschmorr]

Lol I pulled my wiper relay, I also own an E39, and sure enough, it’s rattling just like yours is, I’m gonna rummage through a junkyard or 2 before shelling out 80$ at FCP LOL!

[@howitsmade5865]

Thanks, this is the best video for my car, much appreciated 😊

[@CalmingAnxiety]

Great video mate. You can move that black drain cover at the back with a 10mm wrench, loosen the bolt slightly and it slips right out! Ive had the same issue but after rebuilding my relay my wipers fail after 5 mins or so. No closer to finding the problem.

[@WarpDriveM]

Now i know....your problem might be in the motor or the arms that are stuck or moving hard and drains too much current and that's why is blowing the relay

[@MrSupertoyboy]

Great video, i liked that you tested the relais on his function :=) i got nearly the same problem with my bmw 316i e46 sometimes wipers are working, sometimes they stop wiping without pullung the lever...so i think its the relais too in my case

[@WarpDriveM]

That's like the first rule...to test everything to be sure what is wrong and after that buying the right part. Thx for watching and good luck with yours! 👌

[@woodst408]

Thank you for saving me some money 💰 👍

[@brownthugsta8960]

Great job thanx this really helped me fix my wipers.Dope Real Talk.

[@jakubkostek566]

Thank you for your guide 👍

[@alslele564]

Thanks Good technical detail information and basic trouble shooting procedure Well done

[@johngaffigan9568]

Hey Warp Drive M - the next time you need to get into your fuse panel, check out the red fuse puller (at seen about 1:40 of your video here). That's a really nice BMW adder...use it and don't lose it! :-)

[@WarpDriveM]

I knew that but I don't know why I didn't use it...😁 but thx for the tip and thx for watching!

[@thanos834]

what if it is not the relay? I have replaced my relay and the wipers still do not work. Same issues as described in your video. Thank you.

[@jdgonzal37]

I have the same problem with my 528i 1998. Next weekend I'll try check the motor assembly. Hope find the problem.

[@joses.salmeron4181]

Mulțumesc frumos... Chiar mi-ai rezolvat și mie problema cu acest filmuleț... Multă baftă în continuare 🤗😘

Ma bucur sa aud. Ms de suport 🍻

[@csabaenyedi281]

Thank you for this, superb! One question: E46s have 2 fuses for the windscreen wipers. DO E39s have also two or only 1 fuse? Of course I am having the same problem... Thank you in advance

[@WarpDriveM]

If the car is wagon it will have 2 relais and 2 fuses

Very nice video mate

[@JoseRodriguez-wk8yl]

You are grat bro. Thanks for the video!

[@ThePeca1988]

"wiggle it a bit, and it maybe works... no, of course it's not that easy" 😀 i feel that, just done this on an early e38.. where there are 2 relays for the wipers, both in the bottom, under everything else.. i have not much skin left on my hands 😂

[@WarpDriveM]

😂 i feel you man! 🍻

[@thelegend6911]

Right. I thought hell I'll just kick my tire and see if it jolts my wipers to work again

[@gotredeemed]

Job well done.

[@russellrini6575]

How often do things like that happen? Hopefully when I get a car I that doesn’t happen when it’s raining!!!

[@BMW-is8mw]

Danke bro

[@rachmakhan454]

Hi Checked relays, it's working. what could be the next problem on the E46 bmw

[@WarpDriveM]

Fuses, the lever for wipers, wiper motor and the arms itself can go bad as well or are going to spin in the hub

[@t-pitz8866]

Wiper motor

[@Predatornr1977]

Very good Video Bro

[@batuhansezeroglu7340]

Hi Mate, I have got an e46 320i 150hp manual. The windscreen washing pump doesn't work. I checked all the fuses that belong to the windscreen system. they seemed to be alright. So Is there anything that I can check except the pump motor? like the relay or something else. It will be appreciated if you advise me on something.

[@Aschmorr]

Welp I’m hoping one of your fixes will work, either way thank you my friend!

[@TheIrishguy1969]

Great video

[@MariuszChw]

have you guys had following situation when wipers works for few hours in the rain, then they dies, but when you stop the car and turn off ignition wait like 5-10 minutes it works again?

[@jdgonzal37]

Mine start working that way, but at this moment is died. Changed the relay with no luck. 😭😭😭

[@loganchristensen3583]

Hey, did you ever find out what this was? Have the same problem right now

[@MariuszChw]

​@@loganchristensen3583 unfortunately not. But the problem did not occur again, just waiting..

[@bleedcubieblue]

Im gonna change my shit in the morning thanks from Chicago

[@julianmcalister6865]

I don’t have the same issue in my e46. My wipers work, but the spin knob in the wiper lever doesn’t work that controls the speed when put at the first push up. Does the relay control that part of it as well. Chasing it and have no idea where to look. Do you know if the relay controls that as well?

[@WarpDriveM]

Nope, that is controlled by a module, it might be just the stock bad or you can check it with a scanner to see if the module has an error

[@giel6438]

Thanx, good simple info for a d.i.y. I'm gonna try. Hope to fix it

[@laferrari5081]

well i have e36 and have the same problem, but fuse and relay seems to fine...

[@raulasy7491]

Thank you, bro!🙏👍

[@hbroyejohnson1126]

My bmw 318 series has a similar issue: The dippers keep on working and can't be stoped. Since that happened, the indicators are not working except the hazard lights. The switch system is knocked off as well. Can't flush not flash the beam lamps. Please help. You may reach me on phone if you approve.

[@marcoharrer6966]

[@santoshgupta01]

Very nice , whare are place headlight control module bmw , plz reply

[@WarpDriveM]

Where the hood latch is! Under dash left side under the obd port. You have to remove some plastic cover to see it. Just check my other videos because I have a video on the FRM module (this is how is called)

[@richybrophy2105]

Thanks Gru!!!!

[@petercan1020]

I just checked all my fuses I checked my relays all good I switched my motor with a new one and I still get nothing my windshield wipers spray but I get no wipers I have a 2008 328i e92 what else should I do

[@WarpDriveM]

Your problem is the module that control the wipers. It might be the FRM module. Check if something else is not working like windows, interior lights or something else that is run from that module. You can check it with a scanner

[@petercan1020]

@@WarpDriveM everything else is working properly the only thing not working and it's not on that line is my oil level sensor no communication to the water pump or to my thermostat which I don't think it has anything to do with that I am getting codes A6C9 A6CA. By the way thanks for the response I really appreciate it

[@WarpDriveM]

All the problems suggest to be the JBE module! (Junction box module) is located under the glove box fitted directly on to the fuse panel. You you replace it don't forget that needs to be coded.

[@petercan1020]

@@WarpDriveM that's what I was thinking but wouldn't something else show in that module is going bad besides the wipers

Why mi wipers wont stay at final position

Good

[@MrRafuru]

Plz give here exact relay solution and numbers on which connector i should put 12 v and which connectors should be open or closed.

[@WarpDriveM]

You have to send me a picture(Facebook @Warpdrivem)with your relay or you want me to tell you how works on my relay??

[@MrRafuru]

Your relay of course. :)

[@lisaturano3783]

I have a 2008 535i my wipers go up but do not go down..if i push down on them with my hands than when i hit the wiper switch it goes down..any suggestions before i take it to mechanic?

[@WarpDriveM]

You can check the arms on the inside. Between the motor and the hole from the arm you should have small channels. If those are rounded that is your problem. And check if the nut is completely tight as well. If everything is ok scan the car to see if you have an electrical error for the wipers and you go from there.

[@lisaturano3783]

@@WarpDriveM thank you for the advice i will check as soon as i get a chance!! I will message you back if i have more questions!!

I changed the Relay but still not working

An meinem e39 haben heute die scheibenwischer nicht funktioniert bin dann 5 Minuten ohne Wischer gefahren und danach gingen sie wieder normal... Kann es auch das relai sein? Oder nur die Sicherung die spinnt?

I have this problem with my 745 but I think the problem is the whole car lol electrical disasters. Tbh mine runs great engine wise but battery problems are killing me. I just fixed transmission failsafe and no I didn't just push the gas for bout minute, troubleshooting shit makes more problems come up. I know I love bmw's but I'll only own manual for now on

I almost died today...driving my bmw 528i it started raining so I turned my wipers on and abt 5 minutes later the wipers stopped working and I couldn't see jack shit while on the highway

Yeah I know....the same thing happened to me....scary af

Same thing here lol I'm looking thru the drops on window just so I don't wreck

i drove through a big puddle and realized my wipers don’t work lol good thing it wasn’t raining

[@WarpDriveM]

Lucky man! In the rain without wipers you can not drive it's too dangerous

[@smooveking773]

How much for a relay can I buy a cheap one off eBay and be ok?

[@WarpDriveM]

Aprox 40 euros, and you can put a used one or a new one of Ebay.

[@jmw3987]

My problem is a little different. When wipers stop working, window washer also doesn't work. Any ideas?

[@WarpDriveM]

You have to check your fuse diagram because the washers are on a separate fuse. In my case are fuse nr 2 and 4.

[@topiastorikka2934]

Hello! i have the same problem: wipers nor the washer are working, i checked all the fuses and relays and they are all ok. pls help

[@WarpDriveM]

if everythig is ok than its just some wires issues. check the plugs on the relays and back on the fuse box. it sounds that you have a bad ground or + wire issue.

Caput? Cabut? ..Say? What's that? 😁👍

[@philippreiter3065]

Kurbelwellensensor+Nockenwellensensor checked? (Mine was broken due to some common e39 issue)

[@hannes0000]

What if my wipers work but they dont remember resting position and stop in middle of class not down as they should.

[@WarpDriveM]

That could be your module. Maybe it must be reset, recoded, or your battery is bad....if the battery is bad your modules go crazy...

[@PanaramX]

🫡 thx brother

[@DaleEverett]

Wow, that’s bad design by BMW, making it that hard to get to the fuses / relays on their car.
